US Classification:

726 6

Abstract:

Techniques for federated credential reset are presented. A principal requests a credential reset with a first service. The first service provides a link to a third party service previously selected by the principal. The principal separately authenticates to the third party service and cause the third party service to send a federated token to the first service. When the federated token is received by the first service, the first service permits the principal to reset an original credential to a new credential for purposes of accessing the first service.

US Classification:

726 1, 726 7

Abstract:

Techniques for controlling authentication are provided. An enterprise injects a control and/or audit manager into the enterprise environment to control and in some instances audit third-party authentication services. A user attempts to access a resource that uses a third-party authentication service. The attempt is intercepted and third-party authentication handled by the manager. After authentication, a session between the user and the resource is established during which auditing services may be enacted. The user authenticates to the enterprise environment and the manager provides authentication for the user to the resource via the third-party authentication service.

International Classification:

G06F 1338
G06F 1517

US Classification:

709205

Abstract:

A system and method efficiently provides services offered by proxy servers to client computers coupled to a network. The system comprises a proxy server interface configured to expose the services within a web brower executing on a client computer. The services available to the client are dependent upon the topology of the network coupling the client to the proxy servers and the access rights of the client with respect to the services. The invention further provides an efficient method that allows clients to inherit functionality from the proxy servers as a function of the network topology and access rights.
